Sales Have Been Brisk

Thanks to all that have purchased yarns to support Sandra's Memorial find. I sold 152 lots of yarn in 36 hours and ask the buyers to be patient while I acquire enough boxes to package all the shipments. I have update the sales list and you can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lcfpmv17w383306/YarnSalePkg.pdf?dl=0

Sandra was a professional weaver specializing in complex weaves using fine threads. She wove scarves, shawls, wraps, and table linens on this 48-inch, 24-shaft computer-assisted loom.

This fine loom, in excellent condition, is now offered for sale.
